Mount Carmel Vidyaniketan

About Institution

Mount Carmel has its inception as long back in the years1934 intended for education of girls. An era when women education was not so popular. The founders of this vidhyalaya are the Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa, a woman religious congregation started by Mother Teresa of St.Rose of Lima. The school, started in Kanjikuzhy in the outskirts of Kottyam Town, had a humble beginning with 15 students and 3 teachers under the leadership of Mother Claire,. The first Bishop of the Diocese of Vijayapuram Dr. Bonaventura Arana OCD of happy memory rendered all support and blessings for this noble Endeavor. Along with Mother Claire Rev.Sisters Aloysius, Dennis, Ananciata, Stanislaus and Mother Gabriel were the pioneer co-workers of the school.
It was in 1947 when India freed herself from the foreign rule that Mount Carmel was elevated to the status of a High School. Now in 2007 when our country celebrates the 60th year of Independence, Mount Carmel also gloriously celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of the school becoming a High School. The school is under the Corporate Educational Agency of the Diocese of Vijayapuram.
